Yesterday was a very down time for reasons I will not discuss here, but God surrounded it with two goods. On Wednesday and today, we received e-mails from our son who is in Ukraine with members of his church on a mission trip, and things are going really good. Our God is indeed faithful, all ways the same, no wonder the sons of Jacob are not consumed. .-= Dr. James Willingham´s last blog ..<a href="http://thirdgreatawakeningcom.blogspot.com/2009/02/climax-of-reformation.html" rel="nofollow">The Climax of the Reformation</a> =-.

I was talking to my husband last night and said, as much as I get discouraged, I consider the steadfast, patience of my Father. How does He put up with me? And then I do wonder how He is so steadfast and longsuffering and loving and patient with all man. We have an amazing God, don't we? May we all receive more of His Spirit and manifest more of His Light within us. .-= selahV´s last blog ..<a href="http://selahvtoday.typepad.com/selahv/2009/07/what-am-i-passing-on.html" rel="nofollow">WHAT AM I PASSING ON?</a> =-.

If God has mercy upon me, He will surely do it for the other fellow. I need not despair or give up on any until they are in the grave.

I long for that Great Awakening and pray for Christ's Spirit to fill the earth in all His glory. I look forward to the day that we all bow before Him and give Him the glory due His name. Oh that we could offer Him more glory with all our words and actions. I was listening to the radio on the way to an appointment today and a wonderful song came on Come Jehovah Jirah. I was so grateful that I was stopped at a stoplight and could clap my hands and sing along. Don't know what the man in the truck next to me thought. I noticed him when the light turned green and I had to move on. But my spirit was so happy. May God give others that joy. selahV .-= SelahV´s last blog ..<a href="http://selahvtoday.typepad.com/selahv/2009/07/whats-the-opposite-of-glorify.html" rel="nofollow">WHO OWNS YOU?</a> =-.

I must admit I grow disheartened at times with how people can knock one another around. The spirit of courtesy is supposed to be reflcted in all of our conduct and behavior. I just finished reading Michael A.G. Haykin's Kiffin, Knollys and Keach. The latter was in a great debate with Joseph Stennett over the Sabbath (Stennett was a 7th Day Baptist), and he invited Stennett to preach his funeral, showing as Haykin says, 'catholicity of spirit." It reminded me of Whitefield and Wesley and their remarks (legendary or not, I cannot say), that they would not see one another in Heaven as the other would be so close to the throne that the one could not see him. Their humility is in marked opposition to the uncharitableness of many today. The coming Great Awakening, however, will bring about a great change in attitudes. .-= Dr. James Willingham´s last blog ..<a href="http://thirdgreatawakeningcom.blogspot.com/2009/02/climax-of-reformation.html" rel="nofollow">The Climax of the Reformation</a> =-.
